AGROSTA®Winterwood and Wonderful are automatic machines for testing a batch of fruits or vegetables. They provide

color, size and firmness, as well as statistics and data exportable to Excel

This laboratory instrument is provided with :- The software for Windows, compatible with all Windows versions (Vista, XP, 7,8,8.1,10)- 2 different turntables according to the type of fruits you want to test (Additional turntables are available as options)- The sensor head is pre-equipped with the size of tip corresponding to the type of fruits you want to testAgrosta®Winterwood dedicated to soft fruits with smooth skin (Durofel sensor head) :- The turntables have 32 cups for blueberries- 20 Cups for cherries, cranberries, grapes, olivesAgrosta®Wonderful dedicated to all fruits and vegetables (Single pressure or penetrometry sensor head)- 8 Cups for Pomelo, big Tomatoes, Pears- 16 Cups for Apples, Pears, Avocado, Lemon, Orange- 20 Cups for Strawberries, small Tomatoes- 32 Cups for Cherries, Apricots, Blueberries or RaspberriesThe machine comes with high precision Stepper motors, making 400 steps for 1mm movement (Precision 2.5 microns), 2 main boards (One coming from Italy for controlling motors, the other one made in the Usa for the measurements), a Spectrophotometer (Colorimeter) board with infrared filter made in the USAJust place carefully your fruits on the turntable, place the turntable on the machine, and start a cycle from your computer..All measurements are displayed in a chart that can be exported to Excel. Graphs are displayed, they can be exported as well

- The firmness

Winterwood version (Soft fruits with smooth skin) :The firmness is determined by squeezing the fruit in the same manner a consumer would do with his fingers. It is determined through the durofel index with 2 different tips available (’10’ for apricot and tomato, ‘25’ for cherry and blueberry)The machine is provided with the tip according to the type of fruits you are going to test. Additional tips are available as option. the measurements are in Durofel index (from 0 to 100%) and approximate Firmtech (gr/mm)Wonderful version (All fruits and vegetables) :- The 5 mm stainless steel tip can be used either like a penetrometer (for fruits like apples or avocado) or testing the surface firmness without penetration inside the fruit (Testing the deformation resistance). You can adjust the parameters like stroke and speed as you want, in order to adapt the machine to the fruits you are going to test. The spring on the head works like a stripping device that maintains the fruits on the turntable - The firmness is provided in grams and mLb

- The color measurement

OPTIONAL SYSTEM - 2 OPTIONS :VISIBLE RANGE :It is done as the fruit sequences through the machine on the turntable - The machine comes with a Spectrophotometer, which gives very intuitive measurement : The intensity of light reflected along the visible range, using 6 different wavelengths. Our color sensor comes from the Usa, and is a high quality device - We have added a small glass lens in order to facilitate fruit juice cleaning, and increase accuracyRED + NEAR INFRARED RANGE :Recommended for Cherries, strawberries, tomatoes, cranberriesThis spectrophotometer measures in the red and near infrared ranges at the following wavelengths : 610nm (Orange), 680 nm (red = Chlorophyll red edge), 730 nm (red), 760 nm (deep red), 810 nm (very near Infrared), 860 nm (near infrared) - So with this spectrophotometer, you analyze the red color and what happens just behing the visible red, which can be very useful for research and advanced analyzis.

- The size

The machine counts the number of steps the motor has to do in order to reach the fruit surface (400 steps for 1mm) - You have to parameter the initial size in the software, and Winterwood gives the fruit diameter at probe position. This is approximate, as it depends on the position of the fruit inside the cup of the turntable But it is very representative from a statistic point of vue

for testing berries quality

Dear Client,Our Turntable machines are very much appreciated worldwide, with excellent reliability and accuracy. Many companies have bought several machines after having tried a first one.But please keep in mind the fact that those are small series productions. Each machine is assembled by hand, tested and adapted to each client.So we need to obtain detailed information from clients concerning the fruits varieties they want to test, and the conditions of test.Laurent Klotz - Ceo
